31. And now they are the ones who refuse to obey, because God showed mercy to you. But this happened so that they can also receive mercy from him.
32. All people have refused to obey God. And he has put them all together as people who don’t obey him so that he can show mercy to everyone.
33. Yes, God’s riches are very great! His wisdom and knowledge have no end! No one can explain what God decides. No one can understand his ways.
34. As the Scriptures say, “Who can know what is on the Lord’s mind? Who is able to give him advice?” Isaiah 40:13
35. “Who has ever given God anything? God owes nothing to anyone.” Job 41:11
36. Yes, God made all things. And everything continues through him and for him. To God be the glory forever! Amen.
